IN THIS SCENE: "The Tour has always been a story about men, great ones and lesser ones." Erik Zabel discusses the bond shared between he and his teammate Rold Aldag.

ABOUT THE FILM: Le Tour de France, the toughest bicycle race of all celebrated its 100th birthday in 2003. Year after year this spectacular event fascinates millions of people worldwide. But within the beauty of the French coutryside and the tensions of the race, Academy Award Winner Pepe Danquart chose to illustrate the torture and the pain, the fear and the courage of the riders of the Tour.

In the process he captures the thrill of the race, the essence of the stunning landscape, and shines light on the Tour's supporting cast - the masseurs, managers, fans and more. Adding a fine sense of history, Hell on Wheels transcends the sport it celebrates to reveal an astonishing human endeavor.
